SABIB II, p.429. Uncommon. Print run of 1,500 copies, the initial issue of 2,000 copies of 1881 apparently having been suppressed.
"Most military accounts of the campaign rest squarely on the official Narrative... . A reasonably objective summary, it skirts controversial material but is neither complete nor free from error." [Morris The Washing of the Spears. p.619] Credited to Rothwell, a Professor at the Staff College, by Jay Luvaas in his essay in Higham Official Histories... [p.497].
